Leeds United have lost 1-0 away to Queens Park Rangers.

Luke Freeman’s 49th minute goal gave QPR the advantage, after Leeds came out for the second half flat.

Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan gave his reaction instantly after the match.

He told BBC Radio Leeds: “The quality in the second half just wasn’t there. Too many tippy tappy passes and a lack of concentration.

“It’s difficult in any game when you go behind. Quality and finishing that’s what I put it down to. Not being ruthless enough.”

Leeds began the game needing a win to return to the top of the table.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side had only narrowly edged to a victory over struggling Bolton Wanderers at the weekend.

This was their second game without injured top scorer Kemar Roofe.

QPR had lost seven matches in a row coming into the game.

Leeds host West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road on Friday night.
